Answer:

Skeletal muscles are a type of muscular tissue.

Explanation:

All types of movements in our body are due to the muscular tissue. This tissue constitutes the muscles, which are made up of long, cylindrical, fiber like cells called muscle fibers. The muscle fibers contain the myofibrils in the cytoplasm called sarcoplasm.

On the basis of their structure and function, muscular tissue is of three types:

1. Skeletal muscle

2. Smooth muscle

3. Cardiac muscle

Skeletal muscle: It is also referred as striated or striped muscle. These are found attached to the all the bones, hence called skeletal muscle. They are voluntary in their nature which means they are under the control of our will power. These skeletal muscle provides the force for locomotion and all other voluntary movements of the body. These muscle undergo tiredness called fatigue and need rest.

Can provider gap 4, the communication gap, be closed prior to closing any of the other three provider gaps? why or why not?

pentagon [3]

Gap 4, which deals with lowering customer expectations, can be closed at any time. While the first three gaps are concerned with raising company performance to meet expectations, gap 4 aims to lower customer expectations to meet perceptions. The two approaches to closing the customer gap operate on different principles and therefore can occur independently. Incidentally, closing gap 4 can be more economical than closing the other gaps.
